Serial connection via program Asbru with the Arch linux

Hi, I'm Fabrizio, I would like to know if there is the possibility of configuring a serial connection via Asbru with the Arch linux or derivative operating system, since for this operating system the "cu" or "remote-tty" programs are not available in the repositories.
These packages are required for the use of the serial connection with the Asbru-cm application
Thanks!
On Debian the packages are:
cu  (call up another system)
remote-tty (multiuser "tip"/"cu" replacement with logging)

If you install Asbru from the AUR it will tell you which additional packages are needed. You can also query which package a command belongs to using pacman...

pacman -Fy cu

Re: Serial connection via program Asbru with the Arch linux

Good evening, maybe I have not explained myself well, asbru I installed it without problems, the fact is that the asbru serial connection needs at least 1 of two packages which are "cu" or "remote-tty" which however are not present in the arch linux repository.
How do i install these packages?
Thanks

Your explanation was fine and that's the question that I answered.

...the fact is that the asbru serial connection needs at least 1 of two packages which are "cu" or "remote-tty" which however are not present in the arch linux repository.

cu and remote-tty are not packages they are commands.
The cu command is part of a package that contains several different binaries but the name of the package isn't cu. The command I gave you earlier will tell you which package you need to install...
